Lumen Technologies Inc (LUMN)

[Nukemtiltheyglow]

Lumen is one "oversold/undervalued stock" buy and hold. 

[Nukemtiltheyglow]

$8.5B in new contracts....not too shabby. Go Kate & Company!!!

[bradford86]

Apld?

[bradford86]

Thats the idea

[Nukemtiltheyglow]

Here's something totally fascinating; the cost to lay one (1) mile of fiber optic cable costs on average $60k per mile. Depending upon the terrain. Guess what Lumens cost per mile of its 450k miles of fiber optic cables are? Simple enough, divide Lumens Market Cap ($4.7B) by 450,000.... drum roll... $10,444 per mile. That's incredible. Lumen is way, way undervalued. Still not satisfied I see... Well? Then let's throw $18B in debt on top of the $4.7B MC, $21.7B. Divide that by the miles of fiber optic cable. $21.7B/450k....$48,222 per mile. Still below average.

This stock is obviously being manipulated by some type of Algorithm. Nobody in they're right mind would trade for pennies. I agree that LUMN is way oversold. Criminal rhythms with "Criminy"

...waaay oversold...IMO...

Any news release of a Positive nature...and its back to $7 or higher...
Da GOODER da News da Higher it goes...

I been adding to my positions...and writing options..both puts and calls

[Nukemtiltheyglow]

I should just call it quits and invest in Real Estate. Of course what's life without a little excitement? Unfortunately, the markets are rift with younger generation traders, who like to swing trade for pennies.

[JB51]

Can't believe fell.today, damn short sellers! Had good report so just matter of time before we fly higher 

[Nukemtiltheyglow]

4.70's range, Lumen is a Mother. Traders are brutal. I had a limit sell @ 5.59 yesterday good for 60 days. Shares never sold, I'm a little pissed. I need to contact my broker to see if I have the right permissions to sell AH?

[crowin]

What would be a good entry here today? 4.94 is support

[Nukemtiltheyglow]

Lumen beat on earnings street was expecting (-.05), Lumen came in at .09 cents. A real company with real earnings. They beat on revenues too. 

[JB51]

Looking good on earnings, up after hours 

[Nukemtiltheyglow]

Heads or Tails? Good Report or Not? Based upon Palantir earnings, I'd say our chances are good. We shall see in 1 hour 45 minutes.

Although DeepSeek caused a riffle in the AI space, e.g. lower power requirements for doing it's AI functions. I don't see this as being an impediment for the major buildout for the FAB Five, MSFT, AWS, META, Google, ORCL. These companies still require the fiber connection, power requirements and Data Centers. "Energy is neither created, nor destroyed." coined by Julius Robert Mayer, James Prescott Joule, and Hermann von Helmholtz. Computations require massive energy consumption along with cooling. Think of AI as the World's fastest SuperCar, then I think you get the picture. That's my 2 cents worth.

[Stock Guy777]

Yes, deep seek is probably the main reason for all of the major AI players sell off today.

17 of Lumen owners are institutional owners which own over 51% of the company..

Big swings can happen on thier moves

[JB51]

Good time to add some shares 

[Nukemtiltheyglow]

Lumens sell-off?? Only thing I can think of is the Deepseek issue has spooked the markets? Maybe Black Lotus Labs will come out with something. Markets taking a breather and waiting for the tariffs and Jay Powell speak. Waiting on Wednesday & Thursday, Tesla, Microsoft, Meta and others report earnings.

[Nukemtiltheyglow]

Dang, these traders are selling for nickels & dimes. Sure they're making money but Wow if they would only let Lumen run back up, we'd all be making money.

[Nukemtiltheyglow]

Lumen is still under the radar, better get in quick.

[Nukemtiltheyglow]

Stargate;This is very impressive. Lumen has to be a big part of how the data gets transmitted. Huge, for all the Trump naysayers out there...."eat this" https://www.google.com/search?q=trump+earmarks+%24500+Billion+for+AI&rlz=1C1GCEB_enUS1127US1128&oq=trump+earmarks+%24500+Billion+for+AI&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIHCAEQIRiPAjIHCAIQIRiPAjIHCAMQIRiPAtIBCjMwOTQwajFqMTWoAgCwAgA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&safe=active&ssui=on#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:9427eb63,vid:XHtqPEA2Z68,st:0

Going back to $10

[Stock Guy777]

Right On!! Just a mater of time is all!

[Nukemtiltheyglow]

Ponder this for a moment; Lumen's Market Cap is $5.66B for over 450K miles of fiber optics? With a booming AI trend taking place before our eyes. Lumen is procuring 10% of Dow Corning's Fiber output. Lumen has $12B in contracts. We're at the tip of the iceberg. Earnings are coming in 3 weeks. GLTA

[Nukemtiltheyglow]

Probably a good time to accumulate shares before earnings....just sayin' Earnings should be okay, in-line? With so much blather surrounding AI & Quantum and how they work together, nothing going to happen without a Fiber network. As Carl Sagan used to say...."Billions and billions of stars, imagine the number of habitable planets are out there?" In Lumen's case it's $Billions and $Billions in their coffers.

[Stock Guy777]

Fourth quarter earnings release after close February 4 2025 

[Stock Guy777]

Let's go lumen! Give us some news! Updates, anything!

[Stock Guy777]

Where are you getting this from? Lol totally misinformation

[Slim6]

LUMN lost money this year and is projected to lose over $600 million next year. They are already at negative book value. The company has negative valuation of over $6,000 million already. This one is teetering on bk.

[MightyX]

Apld jumped $1+ ahead of Lumn intraday

[MightyX]

Apld just passed up Lumn in after hours

[Stock Guy777]

Oh.. we will get it!! We will get it! Many many more billion dollar deals!
$LUMN

[JB51]

Need to hear some more positive news to keep this upward trend going 

[MightyX]

Algo 5-7% differential established between Lumn/apld(favoring lumn)

[Stock Guy777]

Is this short interest still large on lumen Jeff?

[MightyX]

Algo established 5%-7% rate-differential(to Lumn)favoring apld evidently.

[MightyX]

Apld trading 30% under Lumn

[MightyX]

Apld could have 5x marketcap/revenue value-advantage over lumn..when deals are announced.

Maybe my final post here...
It's Thanksgiving month...and I am very grateful for the good fortune I have found...
I thought it would take a lot longer and more "work"...but everything in its time, I s'pose...all good...
I am still very involved with LUMN...I have about 30 different options positions...so
I will keep making "adjustments" as needed...
Maybe more "defense" than I need...who knows...
Lots of covered Calls...written Puts...long Calls/spreads...
Next year, I guess I will lock in some gains...and maybe even owe taxes on the 2025 year...??

It's Only Money
